Review & Commentary of "Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel" By Miguel Ribeiro, & Joe Coombs For The Wretchploitation Rpg

" Knuckles of Steel is a blaxploitation scenario for Wretchploitation (or other contemporary OSR games) and the second in a series of modules taking place in Crime City, the fictional metropolis introduced in Sexual Holocaust."


" The adventure is pretty straightforward: A triad crime boss kidnapped his former girlfriend's sister and uses the hostage to persuade Lois, model and aspiring actress, to marry him against her will. However, Lois still has a card up her sleeve: A group of brave, determined and wretched friends willing to help her no matter the odds. A situation like this could be solved in a one-shot, but Knuckles of Steel provides plenty of plot hooks and non-player characters and places in Hammettville."

"Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel"  By Miguel Ribeiro, & Joe Coombs isn't my usual fare for the  Wretchploitation rpg. Up to this point our players has been on a horror/Science Fantasy kick with the Wretched rpg systems. "Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel"  By Miguel Ribeiro, & Joe Coombs plugs deeply into the Blackspoitation & Kung Fu film genres of the early Grind House Seventies cinema. Far more into the Blacksploitation films of the Seventies & there's a clearly researched list within "Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel" . However,"Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel"  is it's own original adventure unto itself. 
And it's a pretty solid entry into the Wretchploitation rpg line of adventures. 
"Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel" is going to take the PC's down through the  twisted streets & alleys of Crime City. The PC's are ensnared within the web of triad crime boss whose  kidnapped his former girlfriend's sister. Seems straight foreward right?! It's not as the PC's come into events on several levels when the Triad uses the hostage to persuade Lois, model and aspiring actress, to marry him against her will. There's more gravitus here then meets the eye. There's murder, exploitation, greed, and much more where the PC's could grab power for themselves at several points! 

Let's face facts this is a Wretchploitation adventure & within this rpg it's all about the seven deadly sins. And so it's gonna be a power grab within the back alleys of Crime City. And there's lots of opportunity while sticking it to the Triads or anyone rthat get's in the player's PC's way. There's also lots of opportunity to make a buck or die trying. The encounters within "Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel" can be quite deadly. 
Right now I'm prepping to DM "Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel"  By Miguel Ribeiro, & Joe Coombs coming up. And this doesn't mean a whole lot of writing and whatnot. Instead it means that we're rolling up new PC's with a whole lotta of attitude, 70's gravitas, and getting into the spirit of "Crime City Blues Part II Knuckles of Steel"  By Miguel Ribeiro, & Joe Coombs.
